It’s here! Download part one here:
Well, the coupon class appears to be VERY popular! I was not expecting this kind of response! The class began yesterday, and we had approximately 75 in attendance. I’m getting inquiries almost hourly for a future class! So here’s a listing of all questions I’ve had recently. Feel free to ask more in the comments–if I think its a common question I’ll add the answer up here in this post. 1. Yes, there will be another class (or 2, or 3) in the future. I do not have any dates as of yet. 2. The guide will be for sale on its own, from Amazon ebooks, in the near future. Its been uploaded, we’re just waiting for approval. It will be $5. 3. I do have 2 binders left for sale. These are coupon binders with special pockets for all of your coupons. They are $17 a piece, plus shipping. 4. The current class session is full. I apologize but space is limited!
I’m seeing Walgreens has their store-brand diapers pretty cheap. Now we’re out of diapers at the KnowitAll house, and we’re definitely enjoying that! But for those of you still buying the suckers, here’s a pretty good deal! Wags (walgreens) has their brand for $5.99 a pack this week. At the front of the store, pick up an EasySaver booklet for July. (right next to the ads) Flip through it and find the coupon for $5 off 2 packs. Get three packs of diapers (the coupon will adjust to the right amount–wags computers are smart!) and head to the register. You’ll pay $11.50 out of pocket (oop) and get $5 in Register Rewards back. (Register Rewards are $5 coupons you can use on your next order. Just not on diapers–it doesn’t “roll.”) So for $11.50 oop you get 3 packs of diapers and $5 to spend on something else–medicines, milk, cereal, whatever you need! I’m also seeing that pizza rolls are 10/10 at Kroger–if you have .50 off coupons or higher, pull em out. Those babies are FREE!
First, a big wave for all the new visitors from the coupon class, Q102, WNKU and Channel 5 news! Between those and the Enquirer article, its been a whirlwind few weeks in the KnowitAll household! Now, on to the deals…. Its not a bad week this week! Meijer has some good deals, as does Kroger. Here are my picks for what you should spend your $10 on. CVS–Lifesavers BOGO, use a BOGO coupon from early June insert for two free packs! Kroger–Free Cottonelle. .99 for a 4 pk, free after $1/1 coupon. Meijer–Free cereal and milk! Buy 3 Post cereals, get $3 towards Meijer milk. Honey Bunches of Oats has several $2 off coupons available, making them free, and Meijer milk is usually under $3, so this should be free! Free Dole salads–10/10 this week. .55 off 1 paper from the paper, or $1/1 q from the pamphlets found in the produce section. Last, for all that 4th of July picnic potato salad you’ll be making, Miracle Whip on sale at Meijer. 3/$6, minus a $1.50/2 coupon on Mealbox, and a .55/1 coupon in the Kraft family magazine (doubles to $1 for the first two), making it .25 each! That is: 10 Lifesavers = $0 2 Miracle Whip=.50 20 Cottonelle=$0 6 Honey Bunches of Oats=$0 2 milks=$0 10 salads=$0 total ac: .50 Leaves you plenty of money to buy coupons online and pay the sales tax with your $10. Honey Bunches of Oats coupons can be found Here, here and here. And as always, if you need more coupons, you can buy them on EBay or over at CouponsbyDede.
Obama has done a great job of defining himself. And in politics, that’s a key factor–define yourself, before your opponent does. Until recently I would have said that McCain had also done a great job defining himself–the Maverick, Independent, POW. Funny, likeable. Straight-talking. Those are all descriptions applied to McCain over the past 8 years that instantly come to mind. Great branding! But his branding must be slipping, because Sunday, all I heard from his reps was panic. They were all over Obama’s people trying to show how independent McCain was and Obama is not. I’m not going to get into the middle of that debate. However, it piqued my curiosity. His reps on the Sunday morning circuit had their talking points down to a T. And every single one of them were hyper-sensitive in repeating that McCain bucks his party when he does what he thinks is right for the country. Something in the polls must have them VERY scared. Because after all the sucking up they’ve done to the more conservative branch of the GOP, suddenly they are all pointing out that he’s NOT like Bush and that he does things separate from his party. Interesting….
There are some good deals this week, and most are limited to the Cincinnati area. At Remke: Cheerios–$2 a box at Remke with a $1 off printable at Pillsbury.com. –2 boxes, $2. Hamburger Helper–$1 each with $1 off 2 at Remke’s website–2 boxes, $1/2 At Target: Bandaids–$1.67 a box, $1 off coupon from paper or Ebay, $5/3 Target coupon on Ebay=9 boxes free after coupons! Or, there’s a .75 off coupon on Coupons.com.
Its a quiet week, but these two small deals are definitely worth the time! Both are at Walgreens this week. Band Aids, boxes of 30 or 40 (they’re marked) are only .99. (normally $1.99) There is a coupon for $1 off any Band Aid from a recent Sunday paper. This makes them free! Reynolds Wrap, 20 ft rolls, are $.89 with a Walgreens coupon. (Get the coupon in store in the weekly ad) There are coupons available online (via ebay, couponclippers or more) for $1.50 off two, making them only $.14 a roll! I’d buy: 20 boxes of Band Aids–Free! 20 boxes of Reynolds Wrap–$4 That leaves you $6 to stock up on milk or meat for your freezer. Buy a gallon or two of milk, or a couple pounds of meat, and freeze it for a later date! Couple of quick notes for regular readers. LMKIA will be in the Cincinnati Enquirer this Wednesday, in the Life section, talking about coupons and stockpiling! Also, I will be offering a class in couponing and savings techniques. The class will be June 29th at 3 pm, at the Vineyard Church in Florence. The cost is $10. I’ll have more details soon!
Not that anyone really doubted the outcome… MSNBC is reporting that 34 House members will endorse Obama overnight Tuesday. Along with the delegates he is expected to get in tomorrow’s primaries, he will reach the magic number of 2118. Clinton has told her advance team they will not be needed after tomorrow night, and Obama is preparing to declare victory Wednesday morning.
Its been a slow couple of weeks for couponing and stockpiling. I’ve had some travel plans and just haven’t felt motivated to get to the stores by the lackluster sales the past few weeks. This week, things are looking up! There are a lot of freebies over at Meijer…mostly free after printable coupons! Three items are free after printables found at coupons.com, boodle.com, smartsource.com and communitycouponsonline.com. These are all a part of the buy 10 for $10 and get the 11th free. I’d also get milk there, while its $2.50 a gallon. Chex mix $1 minus $1 coupon=free x 4 bags Totinos pizza rolls $1 minus .50 off coupon (doubled to $1) = free x 2 boxes Rice a Roni Nature’s Way $1 minus .50 off coupon (doubled to $1)=free x 2 boxes Aquafresh toothpaste minus .75 off coupon, doubled to $1=free x 2 boxes That’s 10 items–pick another 10 for $10 item for free (its the 11th item free) Some other freebies/cheapies this week: Dole Mandarin Oranges, canned, 10/$10, - .55 off 2 from paper = .45 each. Green Giant boxed veggies minus . .60 off 2, doubled to $1/2= .50 each x 2=$1 Milk gallon 2/$5=$5 That leaves $4–I’d spend that on extra papers from this past weekend. They are .99 at Kroger or UDF (check your local store.) You will appreciate those extra P&G q’s throughout the next month! Remember that Meijer will only double 2 like coupons per order, so if you have more than 2 coupons for Aquafresh or Pizza Rolls, make sure to break it into a second order. Also, if you arrive and they’re out of something, get a raincheck! They were out of the pizza rolls last night at my Meijer, but I now have a raincheck and my q’s to use another week when things aren’t so nuts! I also hear there’s a Catalina deal at Meijer–when you buy 3 cans you will get a printout coupon for .75 off your next order!
Ky voted this week in a Presidential Primary–the first time in decades that our votes actually mattered. Even then, the punditry has declared the race over, so it didn’t matter as much as we would have liked. However, it was great that we could at least pretend to have a say in the race. And Hillary won KY. Which poses a very interesting question for Obama and his camp. Why, after its been declared statistically impossible, most improbable, for Hillary to win, does she continue to do so well? This is no Huckabee or Paul hanging on to the very end. She is still drawing hundred of thousands, even millions, of voters! Why is this so? If Obama is drawing tens of thousands of people to his rallies, why is he not winning by blowout margins? Kentucky and West Virginia are not the only states where it was close or where Hillary won. Its happening in diverse states, long after her campaign was declared DOA. Voters in Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania knew that it was a long-shot for her to win. Why then did so many vote for her? We all know people like to be on the side of a winner. That’s where the adage “jumping on the bandwagon” applies in politics. We all know that to win, you need to project the image of a winner. And Obama has that image. Hillary does not. So with that in mind, why does she continue to win? This is a big issue for Obama. If he doesn’t “get it” and see why she remains attractive to millions of voters, he will really struggle in November. I don’t think the big worry is blue-collar Democrats switching sides and voting for McCain. I think the bigger worry is this–they just might stay home on election day. And knowing the GOP Get Out the Vote machine, that’s a scary thought! |
